Easter gave me a great chance to have boomers in the family show me their youtube…I’ve never seen how insane the clickbait is. They’re smart, so they both know it’s hyperbolic and dumb, but they still like watching it. It’s all garbage propaganda, laughable crap like “Ukranian special forces repelled 57 attacks this week, with only 10 casualties. They removed more than 12,000 russian soldiers from the front, in comparison. Soon they will use their accurate artillery fire to eliminate the surviving russian soldiers in bakmut.”
It’s insane, I’ve never seen anything that bad, it’s full on psycho-assault in every vid. “Belarus is in open revolt against putin!!! Putin is hated by every russian! They’re trying to massacre him! The russian army has only 3 bullets for each artillery cannon every day! They’re completely losing on every front!”
They kept turning on one vid after another while we sit there baffled at how silly and childish it all was. They have all the boomer bait for taiwan, too. That standoff last night was reported as a riveting naval engagement between both sides, not to mention Finland supposedly sunk a russian ship in the black sea, too.
IDK, just wanted to talk about it, it really freaked me out a bit.
